Than Shwe

Than Shwe (born 3 February 1933) was chairman from 1992 to 2011 of the State Peace and Development Council, a military junta that ruled the Union of Myanmar. He resigned after transferring formal power to a civilian government.

Than Shwe can be very charming and friendly when he wants to be. He speaks English quite well and they try to be hospitable when you are there; but they don't like intrusiveness. They don't like you asking about things that they consider to be their internal affairs.

Than Shwe is quite religious and he is a content person. He did build bridges and roads more than the combination of all former governments did.
